Paddy Goes To Holyhead - The Raggle Taggle Gipsies lyrics

There were three ol′ gypsies came to our hall door They came brave and boldly oh One sang high and the other sang low, Made the lady sing the raggle taggle gipsy oh Upstairs and down the lady ran She put on silk and leather oh And the cry′s gone up all around the door She′s away with the raggle taggle gipsy oh Well, late last night the lord came home Inquiring for his lady oh And the serving girls replied to him all She′s away with the raggle taggle gipsy oh Then saddle for me, the fastest steed The big horse′s not speedy oh I′ll ride wide to seek for me bride She′s away with the raggle taggle gipsy oh Well he rode east, and he rode west He rode south and north also And it′s when he has come to the wide open field It′s there that he′s found his lady oh Oh why would you leave your house and lands Why would you leave your money oh Why would you leave your only wedded lord To follow with the raggle taggle gypsy oh Oh what care I for my house and land What care I for money oh What care I for my only wedded lord When I can have my raggle taggle gypsy oh
